Clemens, the father of a 5-year-old son, was rushed to New York Hospital Queens. Dozens of relatives, friends and fellow cops flooded the hospital, and broke down in tears when news of his death spread.

"He's one of the kindest most respectful people you have ever met," said Capone.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Kelly said it was not immediately clear if Clemens had been drinking before the crash. Since 2005, 10 cops have been killed in motorcycle wrecks.
